Seeing Joshua getting out of the car, Elizabeth was so surprised that she can say nothing but quickly walked towards Joshua and hug him tightly. Elizabeth's muffled voice sounded from his embrace: "Why did not tell me you would come here?"
"I want to give you a surprise!" Joshua let out a low laugh. Seeing how much she welcomed him, his heart was finally at ease.
Only then did Elizabeth gently pull herself out from his embrace. Raising her eyes, when she saw that he was wearing a mask, she said softly, "Let's go in and chat!"
Joshua nodded, his gaze gentle as he concentrated on her back, and followed her into the living room. After seeing he taking off his mask, Elizabeth was in astonishment, she asked: "What's wrong with your face?"
Joshua hurriedly raised his hand to block his left cheek that was still swollen and said indifferently, "I hit it myself accidentally. It's fine, don't worry!"
Elizabeth frowned, "You lie! This doesn't even seem like a collision wound. Did you get into a fight with someone? "
Joshua could only admit it honestly: "Alright, true is I did fight with someone, don't worry,it’ s no big deal!"
Seeing that he was smiling at her like that, Elizabeth did not know whether to laugh or cry, but seeing that his face was swollen like that, she could not help but touch his wound: "Does it hurt?"
"A little bit painful, but now it doesn't hurt anymore!" Joshua raised his large palm and held her small hand. "I heard that you've applied for leave the last two days. Still thinking about the news? "
"Even though I want to put it down, I can't stop thinking about it!" Elizabeth let out a low sigh, and then, she twisted her fingers as if she was making a decision: "Joshua, I want to go back to see my mother."
"You haven't seen her before?" Joshua was startled, and asked.
"No, I didn't want to see her before, but now, I have calmed down. No matter how far I hide, it's useless. I still care her so much." Elizabeth laughed at herself.
"If you want to, then come back with me this time. I'll make an arrangement for you two to meet!" Joshua would never stop her from doing this. In any case, he already knew that April was a scapegoat, so his hatred for her wasn't that strong.
"Alright, I'm going to apply for a leave of absence from the school, but I'm still in my internship. I don't know if I can stay and work, but if I can't, then I'll look for another job." Elizabeth also felt that she was not in her best condition recently and that it would affect her work. She did not want to mislead the children, so she felt that it was best for her to resign from this job as soon as possible.
"You don't need to work. You don't need money anyway!" Joshua actually hoped that she would be able to live his days peacefully, without the need to rush back to work.
"I'm not working to earn money anymore. I'm just looking for a way to spare my time. You If I keep busy, then I won't have time to think about many awful things." Elizabeth laughed bitterly. In the past, she would consider the salary for her job, but now, she really didn't need any money.
"Do you miss me?" Joshua walked over and asked her sinisterly.
Elizabeth, on the other hand, remained silent and nodded her head, "Yes, I have spent most of my time thinking about you.
Joshua serious expression was like that of a gentle kitten, making people want to embrace it and have it rest for the rest of its life.
